Black kids? What about the boys? They've already been written off.So what's the excuse for black kids failing in schools with overwhelmingly black teachers and administration?
The fact that I know most of them there illegally and don’t speak English is what’s making me not believe the stats.how you let mfs that can barely speak English out perform you in reading and english
What's not to believe? We're the bottom of many educational metrics.
You can’t pass English if you don’t know English
There is actually alot of truth to this and this also can be applied to how some children struggle navigating certain aspects of life. For example, a lot of kids don't know how much a radiologist makes or that some work from home. If they did, you'd see some look towards that as a career option then the usual. Their parents are unaware of this as well or even the path for one. If their parents don't know, often times the children won't know. This is less of an issue now because of the internet but it is still an issue.
I would say that if the parents can't brush up on the information, they should find avenues or people who can help the kids in their stead. The problem with these kind of issues is that we are trying to find this magic bullet to fix everything all at once when it is really something that can only be chipped away at. I have often felt study/tutoring groups are of use if only because it allows one to cover many issues at hand all at once: the issue of parents' lack of knowledge, the issue of educational guidance or the lack of it, the issue of teaching styles as well. When I was in undergrad we had something like that through our school where we tutored children of varying grade levels. I was part of some program like that for a year when I was in elementary (it was primarily for indian kids but my parents just said our family was part indian and they were happy to have us lol). We can always form predominantly black versions.

This. It also helps to buy kids those extra math exercise books. Some can double as a coloring book. I had a few of those growing up. My parents were insistent that I don't write i the book because they wanted my siblings to use them when they got older, which they did. And more than anything, there need to be books in the house. My dad and mom made a point to leave old textbooks lying around and had my room double as a library so I'd be compelled to read. If I read something, they'd ask me to tell them about it but to write down what I had to say. Doing this often enough got me comfortable to writing in general as well as reading and comprehension.The classrooms at home
